The 15 Best Wine Tastings in the World

201 tours  ·  from $12 a head

A tasting is the cheapest way into a region and the fastest, so it is worth knowing which pour four wines and which pour nine. These 15 are compared on glass count, whether food comes with it, and how much of the hour is talk.

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 19,061 reviews · 6 - 10 hours · from $82Our pick

Explore the Douro Valley from Porto with vineyard visits, Port tastings, a traditional lunch, scenic N222 drive, and a river cruise.

“Our day tour was fantastic! Our guide, “Jesus,” was incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,290 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $81

Review of Montserrat’s cogwheel train, monastery, tapas, and castle winery tour from Barcelona, with practical tips on value, timing, and what to expect.

“The tour of Monserrat was wonderful and lunch at the winery was fine but it would have been better to have more time in Monserrat and less time at the winery. Our tour guide Lesly was very good but the wines offered at the winery tasting were low end wines and not very good. Not much to see or do at the winery. Would not recommend the winery portion of the tour. Also if you go in Jan the funicular was closed for servicing at Montserrat which was disappointing.”
